📈
Buying streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds added TVA than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (100% of max)
100% of all-time peak
54 hedge funds hold TVA right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +5300% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+53 new funds entered over the past year (+5300% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
18 buying29 selling
Last quarter: 29 funds sold vs only 18 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~11 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 29 → 18 → 13 → 11. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 61% entered in last year
■ 4% conviction (2yr+)
■ 35% medium
■ 61% new
Only 2 funds (4%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💰
Value +3857% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +3857%, but actual share count only changed +6%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 29 → 18 → 13 → 11 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 29 → 18 → 13 → 11. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🌱
Early stage — 96% of holders entered in last year
■ 4% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 96% new
Of 54 current holders: 52 (96%) entered in the past year, only 2 (4%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 98% AUM from top-100 funds
98% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 54 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 98% of total institutional value in TVA. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 7.1/10 — multiple crowding signals converge. Institutional ownership is at 100% of its all-time high — near peak crowding. Selling pressure exceeds buying: only 38% of active funds buying. Crowded trades can unwind fast — a single catalyst can trigger a cascade.
